My memory of beautiful Gloria is a wonderful one: we were passing the friendship pad to be signed. Gloria was on one end of the pew and Bernie was on the other end. They both leaned out in each other´s direction at the same time to see who it was. Bernie waited when church was dismissed to meet the beautiful lady...This is one of my most cherished memories . They were darling together even during illness and other woes.Bless them.
